Pennsylvania Courts Awarded Federal Grant to Further Develop Programs to Protect Elders
HARRISBURG – The Pennsylvania Courts today announced it has been awarded nearly $1 million in
federal Elder Justice Innovation Grant funds to further support its work to protect older Pennsylvanians.
ennsylvania was one of three states to receive the award.
he three-year grant, awarded through the federal Administration for Community Living, Elder Justice
Innovation Grant program, aims to provide assistance to states in their efforts to assess and implement
improvements in the handling of adult guardianship cases.
We are grateful for this grant award which will allow us to continue educating elders and their families
about guardianship,” Pennsylvania Chief Justice Debra Todd said. “Knowledge is power and these
additional resources provide a tremendous opportunity to develop new and innovative programs and
trainings which will give people the information they need to change lives across Pennsylvania.
We are pleased that Pennsylvania was successful in winning this award, amid such a competitive group
of applicants. We extend our sincere thanks to the Administration for Community Living.”
The grant work in Pennsylvania will be overseen by the Office of Elder Justice in the Courts (OEJC) which
was established by the Supreme Court to assist the Court in implementing recommendations contained
in the 2014 Elder Law Task Force’s Report and Recommendations. The OEJC, along with the Advisory
Council on Elder Justice and the Courts, is committed to protecting Pennsylvania’s rapidly growing
population of elders from all forms of abuse and neglect, promoting best practices and educating
judges, court staff, attorneys, guardians and the public about elder abuse.
mong the projects planned, the OEJC and the Advisory Council intend to deploy two pilot projects
focused on providing trained counsel to represent alleged incapacitated persons in guardianship
proceedings and using court-appointed volunteer monitors to visit the individual prior to and following
the appointment of a guardian. They will also develop and implement continuing education programs
and online video modules for judges, court staff, attorneys and guardians.
We are thrilled to pilot these new programs along with the help of our court and community partners,”
Montgomery County Administrative Orphans’ Court Judge Lois Murphy said. “Initiatives like these
directly impact elders and their families and allow us to learn more about what they need and how we
